Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Victoria Rise Together, we believe that cryptocurrency gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries the risk of losing money. Only gamble with funds you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your province/territory in Canada to access gambling services on this website. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our platform.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs. If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much time/money you spend gambling

• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in a single session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms
